Imagine: Thinking Differently

Will Gompertz

Will was the BBC’s first ever Arts Editor, entitling him to express his opinions on things like the Turner Prize. He is now the Director of Arts and Learning at the Barbican. The role brings together the arts and creative learning departments, and he will lead the creation and delivery of the next phase of the Barbican’s artistic vision.

John Lloyd

The producer behind Spitting Image, QI, Blackadder and The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy steps out of the shadows for Radio 4’s Museum Of Curiosities. After dinner the ‘Professor of Ignorance’ draws from his Meaning Of Liff, and explains why complaints to the BBC can sometimes be a good thing.

Vincent Franklin

Vince Franklin has two diverse, yet surprisingly well-matched careers. As an actor, he has played managers, spin doctors and sales speakers in Twenty Twelve, The Thick of It and The Office. As a communications expert he has helped multinational businesses understand the importance of clear communication with both staff and customers. With entertaining examples of the right and wrong way of doing this, Vince tells organisations how to deliver an attractive, engaging message as well as the power a personal story has to inspire trust and explain complex details.
